groupable + reorderable cannot both be used

[Dan]

Team,
First let me start off by saying thank you for this great product you have released!

I wasn't sure whether to place this here or in the UserVoice area so I'm sorry if i have chosen incorrectly.

Issue:
When using the KendoUI Web Grid there appears to be an issue (perhaps due to my own issues) when using reorderable (not documented at http://www.kendoui.com/documentation/ui-widgets/grid/configuration.aspx) and groupable. They do not appear to be able to work in unison. Reorderable will work as intended but the dynamic grouping functionality will not. The grid does properly display the grouping bar but the drop action is being considered invalid since it is not being done in the column header area.

Thanks in advance for anything that can be done about this.

Hello Dan,

I'm afraid that I'm unable to recreate such behavior locally. Please, take a look at this test page and let me know if I'm missing something obvious.

Thank you for your prompt response. I have isolated the problem to only exist when you have not specified the columns.


Working:

groupable: true,

reorderable: true,

columns: ["Id",

"Pallet",

"Material",

"Quantity"

]

Not Working:

groupable: true,

reorderable: true

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the additional details.  We were able to recreate the issue in question and to address it. The fix will be included in the next official release. Meanwhile, I have updated your telerik points.

Rosen/Telerik Team,

I just got a chance to review this in the 2012.3.1114 release and it appears to still be an issue. Further testing indicates that without the columns identified now even column reordering by itself without groupable enable is not functional.

Is it the intention to require columns be specifically identified to the grid? I really enjoy the dynamic functionality the grid "currently" provides. It allows me to only have to make the one change at the data source which limits the amount of JSON data being sent to the client to dynamically change the grid. It just seems to provide a more maintainable client side page. Is there some significant performance hit to letting the grid dynamically identify the columns?

Thanks again for all the hard work being done on KendoUI Web

Hi Dan,

Indeed you are correct. It seems that this issue can be observed with current version of the KendoUI grid widget. However, we managed to fix it and this behavior should not be observed with the next release.

This would be a major feature! And not to bad to implement.
